* Parts with their HP listed as "Main" do not have their own individual health. All damage dealt to these parts is transferred to the enemy's Main health pool.
** Refer to armor values and enemy durability as defined in Damage.
*** The percentage of damage that is applied to the enemy's Main health pool. At 0 HP, the enemy dies. Unless the enemy has constitution, then it will bleedout and die.
**** ExDR means explosive damage resistance, this is a percentage between 0 and 100. If this value is 100%, the part is explosive immune, meaning explosives cannot damage it. Explosions will only directly damage Main health if it is internal.

Tactical Information

  • After landing, the emplacement takes 3~ seconds to fully deploy and the Grenade Launcher to be interactable
    • The cover folds outwards until it hits terrain or reaches max length
  • The ballistic cover it provides protects the lower half of a Helldiver.
    • This cover will be a permanent fixture until destroyed and won't get folded once the battlement runs out of ammunition.
  • Unlike the E/MG-101 HMG Emplacement and E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement, the Grenadier Battlement's Grenade Launcher can only be aimed within a 170~ degree angle in front, similar to the MG emplacements that the Automatons use in their outposts.
    • Because of that, it can be tricky to find an appropriate position for the battlement in certain combat situations.
    • As an expendable emplacement, the Grenadier Battlement cannot be reloaded or repaired, and will persist on the field until it is destroyed.
  • Unlike the support weapon variant, which utilizes belt magazines of 10 grenades each, this Grenade Launcher comes with a box magazine that holds 60 grenades, and can be fired continuously without reloading.
